The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee’s (DSGMC) executive board members election is to be held on March 9 and Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who has been serving the committee as general secretary for the past six years, likely to be elected as president.

Sirsa, who is BJP MLA from Rajouri Garden, is also national spokesperson for the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) and considered to be close to the party high command, Sukhbir Singh Badal, sources said.

According to the sources, he has created history by defeating SADD president Paramjit Singh Sarna, former president of the DSGMC twice. He gained popularity by helping people in his assembly as well as his DSGMC ward Punjabi Bagh.

Senior leaders in the Delhi unit of the SAD are of the opinion that Sirsa’s quality is that he never lingers the work. He helps everybody without giving second thought. Another thing that moves round-the-corner that if he is elected president financial condition of the DSGMC will be improved much.

Now the question before the committee members is who will be general secretary of the committee. A rumour moves round-the-corner that Harmeet Singh Kalka likely to be elected as general secretary. During previous tenure he was vice-president, the sources said.

At present, Kalka is serving the committee as working president.
